Overview

Shop like a true Medellín local during this fascinating 4-hour exploration of the city’s sprawling ‘La Minorista’ market. Explore the wonderful chaos of the market’s stalls with your guide, admiring its selection of fresh fruit, vegetable and flowers. The market offers almost everything one can imagine, ranging from food to the so-called “curanderos”, traditional healers selling dried herbs and other plant-based essences. You'll also get to sample a mouth-watering array of exotic tropical fruits, many of which you’ve likely never heard of before. If you’re up for it, you can even try out your bargaining skills with a local vendor. This market-themed excursion also covers a coffee break, fruit tasting, traditional gourmet lunch in the market, juice and round-triop hotel transport.

Foodie Tour

Sue_D, May 2025
Lilliana was a wonderful guide. She started the tour with questions on what we want to get put of the tour and we changed from going downtown (we had gone on another tour earlier) and went to a small community that is quiet and full of rich history. Lilliana is very focused on the importance of how the food is prepared and cleanliness which we appreciated. We ate many different authentic foods.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Sue! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Lilliana. She’s truly passionate about creating meaningful, personalized experiences and it’s wonderful to know that her flexibility and attention to detail made a difference for you. Exploring a historically rich community can offer such a unique perspective, and we’re happy you had the chance to experience that side of the city. Thanks again for sharing your experience, it means a lot to us!
